With security being of paramount importance in today’s world of international trade, the New Hampshire International Trade Resource Center (ITRC) will host a “Commercial Encryption Export Regulations” seminar on January 27th from 9-11:30 a.m. at the New Hampshire Division of Economic Development (172 Pembroke Road).
Encryption products are widely used to protect sensitive information. The U.S. Government maintains export controls on encryption items including encryption software, technology and other products to protect U.S. national security and foreign policy interests. Manufacturers and exporters of encrypted items may need to obtain a license to export their products, requiring a great deal of knowledge regarding current rules and regulations.
In this seminar, participants will learn how to identify a product that needs an export license, how to register, self-classify and file a License Exception ENC classification request, how to keep proper records and how to adjust to new amendments to EAR regarding encryption items.
The session will be presented by Jeanette Reed of Evolutions in Business.
The cost for the session is $55 and includes a light breakfast. For details, please visit www.exportnh.org/calendar/registration.aspx. For questions, contact Ellie White at (603) 271-8444 or ellie.white@dred.state.nh.us.

The seminar is designed to help those who are considering exporting their products, and answer questions such as: How do you ensure that your products get from your facility to your customer without any issues? What about getting paid? Do you know what forms you need to fill out, and how? Packaging, labeling, documentation and insurance are crucial to a successful interaction with international customers.
